Dear all, Why does diff pair on pcb always reference to gnd/power planes, ie., stripline as sandwitch by 2 planes? The impedence of diff pair is between positive and negative, and should have no relationship to gnd/power planes. Another similar question is I have a 100 ohm diff pair stripline lines on pcb and use a diff coaxial cable solder to this pcb diff lines to connect to another board. Do I need to solder the shield of cable to ground ? Please clarify. Signal Hoss __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
